Started work on my friend Ivan's '70 914 last night. We got the engine and trans out so I could start the rust repair. I started removing all the legal things you can for street prepared and have already removed over 60#. We scaled this car before we started and it weighed 1850 w/o the top. So we are already under 1800#. We are putting fiberglass gt flares on so that should save a few pounds. I am really hoping that when it is all said and done that it stays under 1800#.

Blake,

I'm VERY interested in hearing more. I started building an SP 914 many years ago. Since the car has found jack-stands more comfortable than asphalt as of late, most of my recent development has been on paper...

Would love to hear what you plan to do for a tire/wheel combo.

That IT motor you put together would be the perfect power plant.

As for competition, DSP is gonna have some heavy BMW competition. On the right course though, a fully built 914 might be able to give 'em a run. Gonna be tough though...
